Mobile blogging from Ethiopia

One thing that was missing in Ethiopia was the joy of being able to blog from mobile phones. Ethiopian Telecom has granted internet for SOME pre-paid phone numbers. This gives bloggers the opportunity to blog while sipping a cold one.
The configuration on mobiles is quite easy: just use 'etc.com' as access point and you're good to go.
Happy blogging as the cold ones keep coming!

Glad to hear from you and find your cool blog. How can you manage to blog from Ethiopia using BlogSpot? It doesn't work 90% of the time, because of Ethiotelecom. my email is [email protected] please drop me email.

I freelance as a blogger and article/content writer. The images that are on Vital Wave Blog (http://www.vitalwaveblog.com/) are all handled and managed by the blog owners. You will need to contact them for further information regarding them.

first off: thanks for visiting my blog. Second, while I'm not an expert on the subject in my opinion it is not Blogger per se that there is access problems with but with the individual blogs and their topics or subjects.

But if you ask me about MOBILE blogging its simply because of the snail pace that the Ethiopian Telecom. Corp gives out. It's MADDENINGLY slow!
